The York-born player, who left Leeds to join West Ham in early January, joins on a free transfer following the expiration of his deal at Norwich City, where he worked with United chief Daniel Farke.
Byram was released by Norwich in May after an injury-hit time at Carrow Road.

The versatile defender will provide an option and cover in both full-back positions and become the club’s third summer signing after the additons of Ethan Ampadu and Karl Darlow.
Speaking about Byram in pre-season, Farke said: “Sam is obviously a top, top player once he’s fit and a top class character, a Leeds academy product, he’s had a really good spell here and he’s homegrown which is also important for the Championship.
“He’s an experienced player, that’s what we need in a few positions.”
Byram could make his second debut in Sunday’s Championship clash with Cardiff City at Elland Road.

Bulut has certainly displayed his ambition by swooping for a wide range of talent that, all things considered, should greatly improve Cardiff’s fortunes this term.

Yesterday’s 2-2 draw at Leeds United provided many positives, but it also fed into the school of thought that Cardiff still require a busy final month if they are to compete at the right end of the table this time around.
